We have just made some suttle changes to the Website and added a couple of new categories.

First we have given "The Megaphone" its own page. We will be adding back issues soon. (as soon as I work out how to use the scanner).

We have also added a "Bikes For Sale" page. For now we are not charging anything for ads on this page and will post ads for any trials bikes (old and new), parts, clothing, whatever as long as it's trials related. Just send us the details and pictures via our contact page.

2009 New Zealand Oceanic Trials Championship Team Applications 

MNZ are calling for suitable applications to fill the team positions for the 2009 Oceanic Trials championships.  This event is to be held in Nelson over the Easter weekend of 11^th-12^th April and will also comprise of Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2009 South Island Champs. The team requires three members and will be competing against three visiting Australian riders of the same grade.  

We require: 1 Expert Grade rider

                   1 Junior 21years and under riding the A Grade         

                   1 Master rider 35 years + also riding the A Grade line.  

Unfortunately due to all funding going towards the travelling International team there will be no financial assistance available to NZ team members. 

As a special event the organising committee have also secured the appearance of former World No 2 Takumi Narita from Japan who will be attending and also running trails schools in the days following the event. Also there are strong indications that some Scottish riders who currently live and compete in the USA will also be attending and a strong contingent of club riders from Sydney may be coming to experience some top NZ trials riding. With high levels of local and National media coverage for this event, it is shaping up to be one of NZs biggest events of the year and one not to be missed. Please send all applications to the Trials Commissioner and the closing date for applications will be the 31st Jan 2009.
